Grand Health Partners Bariatric Center
I was very pleased with my association with Dr. Kemmeter. His experience and skill is clearly a plus when it comes to the surgery. The thoroughness of the preparation for surgery and the aftercare is another positive. I had a few moments of frustration when trying to get my surgery date scheduled with the staff, but that pales in comparison to my satisfaction with the outcome of the procedure. Dr. Kemmeter's practice represents what I feel is the best kind of program for successful WLS.
Dr Foote is great! He's very attentive-never makes me feel rushed or uncomfortable when I'm talking to him. Grand Health Partners has a great pre-op & post-op program, altho it would be helpful to have dieticians familiar w/the \"diet\" necessaties of a ds'er. Dr Foote & the physician asst's certainly understand the needs(or non-needs) of the ds'er, but the nut's do not! Thank goodness for OH!
My first impression of Dr. Foote was good. He was very informative and answered all my questions. I only got to meet him 1 time before surgery which stinks, but he was very nice. I don't care for his staff, they are rude, don't return calls and don't followup and really slow. So you have to be one them right away. Even the followup care - has been excellenet. I am glad I picked up, because he uses dissolving staples and another technique that is new.
Dr. Foote is an amazing surgeon who obviously has a great passion for his work! He was kind and informative and very patient with me at my pre op appointment and at the hospital. Make sure you understand that you only see him in a one on one, one time before surgery so have your list ready! The office staff is great. Aftercare is a must. They have endless support groups you may attend! Dr. Foote has a great bedside manner and I had complete confidence in him as a surgeon.
I did a great deal of research before selecting a surgeon and am very happy to have selected Dr. Baker. He comes across as very passionate about what he does (yes - gastric bypass surgery is all he does) and takes great pride in helping others overcome their weight loss struggles. His staff is very good as well - I have not met anyone that I didn't like instantly. They are all dedicated to making you - the patient - feel comfortable.
My first impression of Dr. Kemmeter is that he was very kind and took his time explaining everything thoroughly about my rny. He has a great sense of humor as well and is also a Christian man, although he doesn't preach at you. He and his staff are meticulous about aftercare leaving me with almost no worries or questions. He carefully addressed the risk of surgery, and his surgical competence is outstanding. I came through my surgery flawlessly. I could not believe how well it wint with almost no problems. I would really recomment him to anyone contemplating gastric by-pass.
